Malignant melanoma, an aggressive tumor of skin, is also seen rarely in extra cutaneous sites like the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Primary melanoma of the GIT by itself is a rare tumor; often metastatic at presentation and if found non-metastatic, it is rarely resectable. We are reporting a histopathologically confirmed case of primary malignant melanoma affecting the 'gastroesophageal junction', which we operated on.
恶性黑色素瘤是一种侵袭性皮肤肿瘤,在胃肠道(GIT)等皮肤外部位也很少见。胃肠道原发性黑色素瘤本身就是一种罕见的肿瘤;通常在就诊时已发生转移,若发现未转移,也很少能进行手术切除。我们报告了一例经组织病理学确诊的原发性恶性黑色素瘤累及“胃食管交界处”的病例,并对其进行了手术。
